Pioneering novelist and short-story writer Nicholasa Mohr broke onto the literary scene of ethnic autobiography in the early 1970s, but it took another decade for other Puerto Rican women writers in the United States to follow the path that she cut. From the late 1970s on, a dynamic group of these writers have expanded the landscape of American literature. Kissing the Mango Tree is the first and only book to examine the works of the most popular Puerto Rican women writers from the perspective of feminist literary criticism. Rivera reconstructs the ethno-feminist aesthetic of Judith Ortiz Cofer, Sandra María Esteves, Nicholasa Mohr, Aurora Levins Morales, Rosario Morales, Esmeralda Santiago, and Luz María Umpierre-Herrera. In separate chapters dedicated to each of these writers, the author locates their works within the framework of feminist theory and literature, seeing them as "women with macho asserting their creative powers to record their own versions of their memories, to own their own bodies. . . They transform the way we look at the process of growing up and becoming a woman, at the relationship with our mothers and our daughters, at the fluidity of our lives, at our notions of nationhood . . ." This groundbreaking study is accompanied by a complete bibliography of the six writers' works and secondary sources of feminist, Latino, and ethno-poetic criticism and theory.

"We're all walking stars," the eighty-four year old guide tells Victor Villasenor as he travels to his mother's birthplace, La Lluvia de Oro. "Don't you know what we all are? We are all stars that come from the heavens." Villasenor, Who is in pursuit of legendary family stories for his family history, Rain of Gold, opens his eyes to the world the guide shows him, and in this collection, Villasenor shares that enchanted world with the reader. In these short stories for young people, magic rains down from the heavens like stars, coating each of the family stories in a sheen of la vida as it should be: filled with power and surprises that give each character the strength to endure. Along with the author's own discovery in Lluvia de Oro, the stories brim with a cast of extraordinary characters in challenging situations: the young girl on her first day of school who shows bravery even in the face of schoolyard taunts ... a young man about to be hanged that can only be saved by the miracle of song ... and the young boy who faces El Diablo in a dark peach orchard. Through it all, the characters truly show themselves to be walking stars, tiny luminous sparks of light, and they are able to affect change in their lives and the world around them by relying on their bravery, their strength, and their faith in themselves. These are the stories of ancestors long-past, stories that will scrape off the dust of modernity on the reader's skin to show the glowing beings that Villasenor and his family believe we once were and can still be.

In the title poem of Tato LavieraÍs fifth poetry collection, ñMixturao,î he celebrates the mix of diverse cultures and languages that make up America, and challenges those who advocate a monolingual existence: ñWe who integrate / urban America / simmering in each otherÍs / slangs indigenous / nativizing our tonguesÍ / cruising accents / who are you, English, / telling me, ïSpeak only English / or die?Íî Laviera deftly combines English and Spanish in this poetic celebration of his own bilingual, bicultural existence and the ever-increasing use of both languages in all fields, from music to technology. In his poem entitled ñSpanglish,î he writes: ñpues estoy creando spanglish / bi-cultural systems / scientific lexicographical / inter-textual integrations / two expressions / existentially wired / two dominant languages / continentally abrazàndose î Divided into sections that examine borders, women, men, neighborhoods, and folklore, Laviera continues his life-long poetic exploration of his Afro-Puerto Rican roots planted in the urban cacophony of New York City. In ñNideaquinedeallàî (ñNeither from Here nor from Thereî), he writes about the sense of alienation that all immigrants face when they are considered foreigners in both their native and adopted lands. The poems of Tato Laviera are complex and engaging, and through his words, his spirit, his bilingualism, and his dual identity, he offers the reader poems that are a celebration of life and identity.
